Rodgau is truly a zoo. On the way to my car dealership last week (by car with my bike in the trunk, then back by bike and back again in the evening), I found this toad sitting on the path. I wasn’t sure if it was still alive, because it wasn’t moving at all. However, by the evening, it had disappeared. Either a bird of prey had snatched it or it had made it to the other side of the road. A natterjack, if I’m not mistaken. It’s a good thing we’re not small insects and these creatures aren’t as big as a house. I’d be scared.

Living in Offenbach has many advantages. One is the “Grüne See” (green lake) is a nature reseve that is just around the corner. While attending it in summer it is hard to find a place for yourself, because everyone seems to be around, winter spring is far better. Big toad was sitting beside the main walkways an was lucky that I did not step on it. Still quite frozen and stiff it gave me the time needed to focus it with my 500er sigma. I already said it and will say it agin… I need a macro lens.
